BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Manuel Doblas, born in Humilladero (Málaga) in 1957, but trained from a very young age in Catalonia and with a mindset well rooted among us, has been a painter for many years. He followed the path of group exhibitions starting in 1981 and carried out his first solo exhibition in 1992, precisely in this same Sala Rusiñol where we find him again today. He has won many prizes in various places and has not hesitated to participate regularly—he still does—in quick-painting contests throughout the Spanish State. This, which for others may be an obstacle, because after helping to gain fluency and to find his own formulas that define his style, often leads to recurring approaches, in his case has represented a highly useful system for finding himself and being able to say with conviction what he desires.

Only those who are afraid to explain think they will find themselves very soon. And those who are always thinking—this is the case of Manuel Doblas—never stop feeling the restlessness to move forward. That is why this painter, whose latest work we are now seeing, seeks high spaces by capturing the verticality of skyscrapers and describes abandoned train stations because he is not interested in waiting, but in seeking exits toward a horizon marked by iron rails that, after crossing the crossings, remain fixed because they serve the inner movement of people.

Manuel Doblas has changed his way of expressing himself and he has done so for the better. Gifted in plastic expression and with mastery of technique, he does not stop, but advances.
